50 Cent Playground Book Introduction

The folks over at E Dub bullied their way to get their hands on the first three chapters of Curtis’ publication, Playground. The book doesn’t hit shelves until November 1, but check out the introduction below.

I’ll be the first to admit that not everything I’ve done in my life has been role-model material. I’ve been on the wrong side of the law. I’ve been in violent situations. I’ve also been a bully. I know how a person gets to be like that. That’s why I wanted to tell this story: to show a kid who has become a bully—how and why that happened,and whether or not he can move past it. Writing Playground was a personal journey for me. There’s a lot of me in Butterball. I drew on events that happened in my childhood and adolescence as well as things I saw around me. I also tapped into some of the feelings I remember having at that age—feelings aboutmy family, feelings about my future, feelings about other kids on the playground. Living life on the edge has taught me a lot, like the fact that being mentally strong will get you ahead in life. But being a bully won’t get you anywhere. Some kids don’t figure that out until it’s too late. Does Butterball? You’ll have to read the book to find out.

    their been times i dissed 50 cause of how he is. but i rember i watched his bio on you tube like his mom sold drugs and got killed and he was forced to sell drugs to live,then we all kno he got shot 9 times ect.but it just made me think like sometimes that anger sticks with you even if you get out of that spot and into a better one and he might react dif than other ppl.so when i see him bug out on ppl i dont be like damn hes being a bully, but at the same time u gotta control it.i think he relax a lil since 2003.i think he grew up,but shit when em first sign him he was like woa look out for this dude lol ha but hes aight he made peace with d block,cam and ect,wish one day him and game can peace it up,i think wel have our first woman prez by then…could be soon,but game needs to relex too tho game little crazy also lol
